Choir Students who sold fruit:
Due to the poor quality of the clementines last weekend, our supplier will be replacing all of the clementine orders at no additional cost to you or your customers. If everything goes well, Tuesday, December 18th, we will be able to replace your clementines. Please take this new product and deliver it to those customers that placed orders with you. Feel free to throw out the old ones that are of poor quality. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Rest assured, however, that we will always strive for quality fruit to support your fundraising and are pleased that our supplier stands behind a quality product as well.
